Switzerland Lakes Honeymoon Package - 6 Nights, Lucerne and Interlaken

Evening: A sunset cruise on Lake Lucerne, with mountains on both sides and the water going from blue to copper. Some of the fleet are restored paddle steamers from the 1900s. Included.

Morning: Direct train to Lucerne, about an hour, roughly hourly through the day.

Afternoon: The Chapel Bridge, the oldest surviving wooden covered bridge in Europe, and the Lion Monument ten minutes away. Both free.

The free view: The Musegg Wall towers are open in season and cost nothing to climb - the best look over the old roofs without buying a ticket.

Morning: A boat across Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten, about twenty-five minutes, then the funicular up the Burgenstock ridge. Both included.

The cliff path: The Felsenweg is cut into the rock face and runs level along the cliff with the lake several hundred metres straight below. Free, and the walk to the lift takes about twenty-five minutes.

The Hammetschwand lift: An open shaft bolted to the outside of the cliff, 153m straight up, the highest exterior lift in Europe. It has been running since 1905 and the ride takes under a minute. Included.

At the top: A terrace at 1,128m with Lake Lucerne spread out below and the Rigi and Pilatus massifs on either side. There is a restaurant, and almost no crowd - most day trippers from Lucerne never come here.

Evening: A three-course lakeside dinner for two back in Interlaken. This is the only dinner included in the package - every other evening is yours to choose.

Morning: The Luzern-Interlaken Express over the Brunig Pass, with Lake Lungern below it. Two hours, no reservation, no supplement.

Afternoon: Check in, then a Lake Thun boat out to Spiez. The approach is the point - the castle sits on a promontory with a vineyard behind it and a horseshoe bay in front, and it only looks like that from the water. Included.

Spiez Castle: A medieval tower with a Romanesque church beside it, a hall hung with the originals, and a park that runs down to the water. Entry included.

The climb: Interlaken Ost towards Lauterbrunnen and on to Stechelberg, then four cable car stages through Gimmelwald and Murren to the summit. About two hours each way, which makes this a full day.

At 2,970m: Piz Gloria, a restaurant that turns a full circle while you sit in it, and a terrace looking straight across at the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Included.

The Thrill Walk: At the Birg middle station, a steel walkway bolted to the cliff face with glass and mesh floor sections. It is on the way up and down and costs nothing extra.

Why Schilthorn: It is the one summit in the Bernese Oberland where you look AT the three big peaks rather than standing on them - which photographs better, and comes with lunch in a room that moves.

Morning: The St Beatus Caves, cut into the Lake Thun shore a short way from Interlaken - a kilometre of lit passage past underground waterfalls, with a gorge walk outside it. Included.

Across the lake: A boat along the north shore to Oberhofen. Lake Thun is the quieter of the two Interlaken lakes and this is the prettier side of it. Included.

Oberhofen Castle: The one with the tower standing in the water - the single most photographed castle in the Bernese Oberland, with a park of specimen trees running back from the shore. Entry included.

Last afternoon: Back by boat with the Niesen pyramid ahead of you. The park at Oberhofen is free and open even when the castle rooms are not, and it is a good place to do nothing for an hour.
